“Favourite Marbella Restaurant!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2013

This is one of the best restaurants in Marbella, without a doubt.

The patron is a genuinely decent bloke - treating every single one of his customers personally, and remembering little details when he's met you previously (the cynics among us may suggest this is a clever sales ploy- but I prefer to give people the benefit of the doubt).

The food is excellent - really cannot recommend it enough - and in particular I would highlight the olive tapenade which comes with the chef's compliments and freshly baked bread. It's a great way to start off a fantastic meal.

Truthfully, this is not a cheap restaurant and it can get very busy during peak season and weekends, but it is well worth it. You will not be disappointed by The Orange Tree - I holiday in Marbella several times a year normally, and never miss a chance to eat here.

“Excellent as always fifth time around!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2013

I visit Marbella with family and friends on a regular basis and have eaten in the Orange Tree on a number of occasions. I always enjoy wonderful food, fantastic service, great atmosphere and amazing wines. Frank and his staff give a five star service and the kitchen produces one fantastic meal after another. Put this on your list of must visit restaurants in the Old Town in Marbella. Book ahead and ask for a table on the terrace in the summer months.

“Excellent little restaurant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2013

Although a fairly limited choice set menu, the food was absolutely excellent both in taste and presentation. The home made bread before the meal was also a real treat, and the service was just the right blend of attentiveness and friendliness without being obtrusive. We are regular visitors to Marbella and The Orange Tree will definitely be on our agenda on our next trip.

“Wonderful setting, wonderful tapas.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

The setting is a very attractive square, not too surprisingly with many orange trees there too!
We enjoyed a very leisurely tapas meal here, in the January sun. The food was great, the wine delicious and the service friendly and relaxed although very professional. It is a place that the locals appear to gravitate to as well.
